bash的一个简单的聊天

Why? I was seeking for a simple bash-based script to chat with my co-workers while we are logged-in in the same server. I didn"t find anything I liked, so, I started my own project. Where? It"s mostly headed to be run in UNIX-like systems because it takes advantage of UNIX permissions and IPC"s to enhance chat security. How? It has been developed to work on POSIX standard shells, but for now it has been tried in Linux"s BASH-3.2.39 and SunOS 5.10 BASH-3.00.16 . Got it? This is the first pseudo release: BashChat-0.6-r2` (beta)-> [Download it!](http://bashchat.googlecode.com/files/BashChat-0.6-r2.tar.bz2) => Please, read the HowTo page first! Try it, if you find any bugs, please report!
